I’m selling my Dad’s car for him. A 54 plate Honda Jazz. It’s on Autotrader and Motors.co.uk advertised at £2500. Webuyanycar will offer me (before the knocking money off lark) about £1500.

I’ve just had a text from autotradebuyer.com directing me to their website and offering to come along tomorrow and give me £2350.

Yeah, right, and does that include the horse’s head?

Am I right to assume this is just a huuuuuge con and I’ll end up being offered £1500 with menaces?

Ask Mike, hes knows about these things.

I have. He does.

Just got the same message about a car I’m selling on autotrader offering next to asking price on a Ford Fusion.

Seems too good to be true…

9.a Our Fees
http://www.autotradebuyer.com does NOT charge any fees for our service.
We may request a fully refundable appointment deposit. The deposit will be returned to you at the appointment – even if you do not decide to sell your car to us.

So you give them money first !

Cheers for the info… Ok, so you pay upfront, get offered a really low price if they turn up, or more likely there’s no visit, and there’s no refund.

Best avoided then!

Well I’m not going to try it.

What are the chances that they hold onto that – or take an admin charge out to return?

Im on ebay- any other good ones?
